description Discriminative correlation filter (DCF) tracking algorithms are commonly used for visual tracking. However, we observed that different spatio-temporal targets exhibit varied visual appearances, and most DCF-based trackers neglect to exploit this spatio-temporal information during the tracking process. To address the above-mentioned issues, we propose a three-way adaptive spatio-temporal correlation filtering tracker, named ASCF, that makes fuller use of the spatio-temporal information during tracking. To be specific, we extract rich local and global visual features based on the Conformer network, establish three correlation filters at different spatio-temporal locations during the tracking process, and the three correlation filters independently track the target. Then, to adaptively select the correlation filter to achieve target tracking, we employ the average peak-to-correlation energy (APCE) and the peak-to-sidelobe ratio (PSR) to measure the reliability of the tracking results. In addition, we propose an adaptive model update strategy that adjusts the update frequency of the three correlation filters in different ways to avoid model drift due to the introduction of similar objects or background noise. Extensive experimental results on five benchmarks demonstrate that our algorithm achieves excellent performance compared to state-of-the-art trackers.
